Rick Owens Boots - Black - UK 9.5

The boots are made from smooth, high-quality calfskin leather.

These are pull-on boots, meaning you simply slide your foot into them. There are no laces or zippers.

While the thick rubber sole provides good cushioning and shock absorption, their distinctive design might require a break-in period. Many users find them comfortable for everyday wear, but suitability for very long distances can vary individually.

The leather can be treated for some water resistance, and the rubber sole offers good grip. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended for maintaining the leather's condition. It's best to clean and dry them promptly if they get wet.

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. Ensure the tread is clear of debris regularly by using a brush.

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag. Using shoe trees is highly recommended to maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. Ensure regular conditioning to prevent future dryness.

This is natural with wear. Use shoe trees when storing the boots to minimize creasing and help them retain their shape.

Use a stiff brush or a firm, damp cloth to carefully clean out any packed mud or debris from the sole's tread pattern.

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
